Wireless Network Synchronization of Cells and Client Devices on a Network

A system, comprising:

• an apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
• a wireless transceiver having an active mode in which power is consumed, and a sleep mode in which power is conserved;
• a timer operatively coupled to the wireless transceiver used to indicate when to switch from sleep mode to active mode based on time slot information;
• and
• processing circuitry operatively coupled to the wireless transceiver and the timer, the processing circuitry arranged to switch the wireless transceiver from the sleep mode to the active mode in response to input from the timer, the processing circuitry arranged to tune the wireless transceiver to a first channel during a first active mode and to increase a channel number to a second channel, reset the timer, and tune the wireless transceiver to the second channel during a second active mode, wherein the wireless transceiver transmits identity information associated with the apparatus on one or more of the first channel and second channel.
